According to a recent LinkedIn post from Blues, the company is drawing attention to what it describes as a largely offline commercial building stock, citing that 98% of such buildings are not currently connected to the internet. The post frames this connectivity gap as a legacy of decades of proprietary building systems and suggests that owners are seeking modern technology that can integrate with existing infrastructure rather than require full replacement.

The post highlights an upcoming Feb. 26 fireside chat with SkyCentrics, presented as a case study on penetrating the commercial building market with a solution described as significantly cheaper and more functional than legacy alternatives. For investors, this emphasis on low-cost, retrofit-friendly connectivity could indicate Blues’ strategic focus on scalable Internet-of-Things opportunities in commercial real estate, potentially expanding its addressable market and strengthening its positioning in smart-building and energy-management ecosystems.
By promoting third-party collaboration with SkyCentrics, the post also points to an ecosystem-driven approach rather than a purely standalone offering. If such partnerships gain traction and the claimed cost and functionality advantages prove durable, Blues could benefit from increased solution adoption, recurring data and service revenues, and a more defensible role in modernizing legacy building infrastructure.
